Children's Dance Foundation (CDF) dances with students of all ages and abilities in our community arts center in Downtown Homewood and at more than 20 social service agencies, child care centers and schools throughout Birmingham. Our dance classes and performances inspire the child who is homeless, very young, disadvantaged or at-risk, and the child who has special needs. CDF provides these children with much needed opportunities to feed their imagination and strengthen their bodies and minds. CDF is a non-profit organization supported by generous corporations, foundations and individual. What began in the mid-70’s as age and developmentally appropriate dance classes for small groups of young children and those with challenges has flourished into something extraordinary. CDF is an organization now serving more than 2,000 students each week. CDF has a professional staff of teaching artists and musicians to share our mission. Less than 10% of our budget is for management and administration. Programs are provided virtually every day, year-round.
